New Anticheat Measure Going Live Today

[DHaran]

Since you brought up banking, it's not uncommon for two memebers of the same household to share a bank account (isp). My wife and I found that quite useful when I worked as an over the road truck driver for a few years. I could deposit cash into her account to pay bills when I was away and unable to do it. Had the bank failed to honor the deposit and she been unable to pay the bills because we shared the account, we likely would have taken our funds elsewhere.

So now you see 2 players who happen to share the same isp not only equivalent to multi's, x-loggers, farmers and other cheaters, at least in the way you seem to feel we should be treated, but now we apparently are as undesirable as frauds, check kiters and other criminals. Gives me a real warm and fuzzy to know how highly you regard the apparently small minority I happen to be a part of.

Banks would never allow a system that would let one person access another person's account without verifying their identity and confirming they had access to that account on every single transaction. Such a system is certainly not plausible in gaming either. Your analogy isn't even correct, it would be more suited for 2 players logging one province at one location, which would never trigger cheat detection. These analogies are unrelated, there is no point continuing them to be honest. Like Bishop says, back on topic.
